Hamza

[martyn]

He is going to get a reputation as a dirty player isn't he. 

 

Klopp saying it was a terrible challenge worthy of a red, adding to Bruce calling him out for a horror challenge in the league Cup at Newcastle. Both were in no way red card challenges, but because they ended up with players getting injured he is getting called out, unfairly imo. 

 

As it happens, the only really bad challenge I've seen him make is the one for England u21s in the summer, but doesn't help his cause with managers calling him out. 

 

Hope the inevitable scrutiny on him won't change his all action style

Can’t stand Klopp. Can’t remember him saying anything good about us. Ungracious prat.

Love Hamza but he is reckless. He needs to notch it down a level. You can be a great DM or CM without being overly aggressive. A red card waiting to happen.

He’s going have trial by managerial press conferences which is a joke. 

 

Klopp’s mentioned it tonight to avoid scrunity over the Mane dive.

Disagree. He knew what he was doing with that tackle. He did what he had to do as Salah was likely to be 1v1. 

 

No one would be saying anything about it if we took a point.

He did say a draw against Leicester would be a great result for 95% of teams. He also had nice things to say in 15/16. I dont like the bloke but he has been OK towards us over the years.

[RowlattsFox]

Absolute out of order for Klopp to single out Choudhury like that. People make cynical challenges like that every game, doesn't mention Trent A-A does he? Also makes out we were dirty on Salah when I can't think of a tackle other than Hamza's. 

 

Hamza will get sent off this year, probably for something he doesn't deserve.

Ah, ok, but that’s not how I remember some of his tv post match interviews . I remember each time I have heard him after our games, just talking about his own players or some perceived wrong decision against them . Also, against other teams, my recollection is not of him praising the opposition. Anyway, sure he doesn’t care what we think! 

[Manini]

I think every team needs a nasty bastard like Hamza anyway. I’d embrace it if i was him.

[Ian Nacho]

If that's a red, every professional foul is a red. Yes it's a foul and a yellow but he didn't go to hurt the player. Studs down etc. 

[Ian Nacho]

Also, Jürgen, I wouldn't exactly call it good sportsmanship to be telling your players to boot the ball away every given chance. Happened far too often throughout the game it had to be a tactic. No difference to professional fouls. 

[lgfualol]

He already has a reputation. He has already injured 2 players pretty badly since the summerl, salah now might be injured. Not great.

 

The positive is that he plays for us and our players are safe

[don_danbury]

fantastique tackle imo

[Suzie the Fox]

Hamza rightly took one for the team today. EVERY single player in every single team will do it. Dont see it as a talking point, happens all the time. 

 

Love Hamza, and any one of our players in a similar situation would have done the same. No need to be singled out for being dirty. 

[twister]

I dont mind him

 

games so soft nowerdays I dont mind a player with a bit of needle.

 

 

[Ted Maul]

Highlight of the game, and that includes the goal.

[Jaspa]

Did the right thing. No malice to hurt the player, Salah has actually anticipated contactv and shielded the ball with his touch to block the tackle, which is controlled but forceful. Never a red, yellow all day. Unlucky for Salah if he is hurt.

 

Wouldn't want him to take it out of him, I think it has it's time and place, it's a mans game. If people are afraid of going into 50/50s with him all the better for us, a reputation isn't always a bad thing as long as refs are fair.

[coolhandfox]

Don't see Klopp mentioning how dirty TAA tackle was......

I haven't seen Klopp's comment in full, but obviously he will have mentioned Salah's shove on Soyuncu which should have meant Hamza didn't need to tackle him at all.

[Goober]

Had to take the yellow. Nothing wrong at all with what he did today. Klopp can get ****ed the lanky wankstain

[adam]

Complete over reaction by Klopp. He did what was required and what players have been doing for years. If he is injured then its unlucky. The bloke spends most the game diving about anyway so its probably a bit of karma. 

[ForeverandEver]

Number of times Milner & Henderson have done the same.

 

Sad that Klopp has singled him out today. 
 

Would’ve love to have seen a Roy Keane Vs Hamza midfield battle.

 

Game’s gone mad.

[Alex_LCFC]

Love his aggression 

[splinterdream]

I've never liked Klopp but his words today are infuriating, all he does is stoke up anger towards Hamza, the only problem i have with it is i think Cagler should have made that challenge before Hamza, it was a professional foul at pace and it's embarrassing he's made it out to be anything more

The irony is that if the biased referee had given a free kick against Salah for his blatant nudge on Soyuncu then Hamza wouldn’t’ve been in a position where he had to take Salah out. It’s surprising that Klopp didn’t notice Trent AA’s attempt at Achilles tendon extraction via studs on Youri a far more dangerous tackle than Hamza’s.
